Rare opportunity to own an original 1960’s Mid-Century Architectural by Val Powelson, famous for the Marantz “Gullwing” home in Palm Springs. This 4 bedroom, 2 bath home is sited on a Promontory in Nichols Canyon and designed to capture the sweeping city and canyon views of Los Angeles from downtown to the ocean. Here Powelson masterfully engages the lush outdoor natural vistas with a bold indoor design of wood beams and expanses of glass from floor to ceiling. The unique Butterfly roofline and clerestory windows create a light-filled environment. Walls of glass afford year-round viewing of magnificent sunrises and sunsets; soaring Red Tail Hawks and Western Hoot Owls among a canopy of mature pine trees. Dramatic living room with beamed ceiling, massive brick fireplace and hardwood floors, frame explosive city lights views. Formal Dining area opens to a tranquil garden patio with views of downtown, perfect for al fresco dining on warm balmy evenings. Pristine Tiled Kitchen has stainless steel appliances and original cabinetry. Master bedroom, guest bedroom and den all lead to a 40 foot balcony overlooking the serene canyon hills. Bathrooms have original high grade marble counters and dual sinks. Private gardens, citrus trees, patios and grassy areas create unlimited opportunities for outdoor enjoyment. A Jewel in the canyon lovingly maintained for the “Architectural Purist”.
